How different the spirit and effect vixen good Reighbors run down each others property to strangers, who are per haps thinking of buying a farm! When we stated that the Arnold property. oyer the river, had been sold at low figure, we had the best of authority for so stating. If it was sold for a far greater sum than the one named we are glad of it.. We are glad. also that it is. a matter of indifference to the. heirs, and hope that .neighboring real estate will not depreeiate in value in consequence of the original report of the sale. As the bargain is said tosbe private we are now unable to state amount of pur- chase money. agaavz zzzsa9 <o ..-e 4i r. -M.aL lDimoek is shingling his house. r IL Preston's house and out buildings are being painted .rs . us ....-..- ..,...,....
